Kate and Russ at the Glen Manor - Photos by Mariah and Melissa

Kate has amazing taste- I was pretty excited when I saw this cool lamp in her bedroom. I call this one... "still life with shoes."
It was fun to rummage around in Kate's closet- she's a real girly girl! She had this cool sign hanging on the inside of her closet door. I thought it was fitting with the dress- gorgeous!!! kate fell in love with this dress befores she and Russ were even engaged- when he proposed she remembered the dress and Voila! here it is!






This is Georgia - she is the sweetest funniest dog I ever met! If she was just a little bit smaller I would have shoved her into my camera bag and kept her for myself.





Aren't these incredible?! The brooch belonged to Kate's grandmother.



Kate is so lovely! My friend and very talented makeup artist Robin Mcaloon did her makeup. She looks so natural and soft.



Meanwhile, the boys are striking a pose for Melissa in Providence near the Biltmore.




Kate and the girls just outside St. Dominic's at Providence College.







It's a beautiful church, full of natural light- just how we like it!



How sweet is that?


Great shot of their exit by melissa...




Cheers! Arriving at the Glen Manor (another Melissa shot)






Melissa was insane for this cake! We managed to have a peice at the end of the night, and it was scrumptious! Chocolate mousse filling, and very moist! Yummy.




I don't know what Elisa said to Kate, but it must have been good!


Grandma's having a good time too. I love the grammies.



We are taking a walk down to the water... that's Kate and Russ wondering if they can make a get away for the cocktail hour!



it was worth the trip... doesn't kate look phenomenal! ?!!



the detailing on Kate's dress is to die for.

First dance...



Hey, who are those snappers? Melissa looks great- she always photographs skinny. What happened to my hair? well- you can tell I am working hard running around and snapping away, I have the crazed hairdo to prove it!




This photo should have been of the person with the less than satisfactory dance moves. Maid of honor Reghan does not approve!



Russ's dad- he did have the BEST dance moves. I tried to replicate them later and was totally unsuccessful- this guy is limber!


And... our last shot. Very romantic. We try hard not to do the same picture twice at weddings... there's always a new nook at the Glen, that's what I love so much about it!

Kate and Russ, hope you are enjoying Turks and Caicos! Don't forget to go to Calico Jack's for keylime pie! How about bringing me back a slice?! Say hi to the seaturtles from me!

Dana and Jared at the Atlantic Beach Club 6.28.08 Photos by Melissa and Sarah

Dana and Jared had a beautiful wedding day! While Trish was in Watch Hill worrying about rain I was doing the same thing in Newport! So was Dana! Luckily for everyone it never happened! It was a bit humid, but that's why they invented AC! We did photos before the ceremony so Dana and Jared could enjoy the amazing wedding that they planned.


Some of the detail on Dana's dress. It really was stunning










We did their first meeting on the 40 steps in Newport. Pretty dramatic spot! How can you go wrong with a staircase that leads to a balcony overlooking the Atlantic Ocean? Jared was in awe of his beautiful bride! (photo by Sarah)


Dana's beautiful bouquet by Golden Gate Studios in Cranston


WOW!


Here we are at the famous Wall in Narragansett.


Here we are at a less famous wall in Narragansett! I love the texture!



Here's Dana waiting for the ceremony to start in the air conditioned limo. The ceremony was at St. Peter's By the Sea. The people there were so nice and the church was beautiful!! (photo by Sarah)


Jared got a little choked up when they were exchanging vows. He was also nervous that he would grab the wrong ring to put on Dana's finger.


I was being a little fancy with this one.


I love the sand ceremony! I think it's a nice way to represent two people coming together as one.


Are you serious!? The wind blowing the veil... the beautiful church... the kiss! It all came together on this one! Definitely one of my favorites of the day!


Here's Sarah doing some sneaky snapping through a window with her fisheye lens! Love it!


The reception was at Atlantic Beach Club in Newport! Dana LOVED the finished look of the room there! They do a great job! Here's one of the many details...


We got this romantic shot outside on the beach!


The first dance...


Ummm, Sarah... I thought I told you to bring the big camera...


Sue from Moondance always plays great music and keeps the party going!


Doesn't Jared have a mischievous little smile in this one? That's because instead of giving Dana one bite of cake he fed her about seven! He wouldn't stop! It was pretty funny!


One of the themes of the day was a poem called "A Dance in the Moonlight". Here's Dana and Jared doing just that!


Ah! The Candy Bar! I love these! So many bright colors and fun things to photograph!


I wasn't the only one loving the candy bar!! The guests were crazy for it! It was a huge hit!!




It was an awesome day and we got so many great shots! Congrats on your marriage and best wishes for the years to come!! - Melissa
